Aviation Theme

If your child is fascinated by aviation, you have a myriad of options to hang from his ceiling. If he enjoys military aircraft, all military aircraft have die-cast metal and home-made kits that you can make and hang from his ceiling. You could even hang them in ways to make them look like they are actually in a dogfight. If your boy likes civilian aviation, you can either special order the die-cast replicas of his favourite aircraft or purchase the die-cast versions. You can even purchase ceiling fans that are propellers and ceiling lights that are aeroplanes. You can also incorporate hot air balloons into this theme.

Sports Theme

If sports are more of your child's idea of enjoyment, you can start by hanging some of his favourite balls from the ceiling. For example, having a baseball or football hanging from the ceiling is sure to make your boy proud of his interest. You can also order the ball of his favourite sport as a ceiling light. Pull this theme to the next level by hanging a wall mural of his favourite sport.

Jungle Theme

The possibilities of a jungle-themed room are nearly endless. You can hang fake leaves and trees from the ceiling to make it feel like he is sleeping in a jungle. You can hang a variety of birds and monkeys from the ceiling as well. Give them flight or make them look as if they are jumping from one limb to another. You can also hang vines and fruit to add to your collage of jungle items.
